Tom Rutherford Poet Free verse

Fall From Grace

I am
But a worm 
Crawling in the 
Damp dark earth

Or yet
A creepy bug
That can neither 
Fly nor walk

Have I 
Stumbled so far
To warrant 
This transformation?

How have
I so lost
My way
As to lack human form?

Insidious erosion 
Of things so fair 
And decent 
Day by day die

Discipline the heart
The mind
The soul
For survival of grace
